I think Rupert Murdoch employs a behavioural management style, in which employees are taught to be ruthless to get all the information, before anyone else does, and sell as many papers as possible. I think the workforce environment of News Corp. has made them become unethical in their thinking.

Rupert Murdochs system for employment seems to be to take individuals who have charecteristics that give them the potential to be unconventional in finding there scoops. Murdochs system of behavioral management has made the reporters unethical in their ways of obtaining information, and therefore wouldnt find it surprising if he had indirectly ordered the phones to be hacked. however, in his defense, journalists seeking wealth and fame might just go to such measures to get such a scoop..one of humans greatest flaws is our greed.

I think Rupert Murdoch employs a behavioural management style, in which employees are to gain information at all costs before the competition to remain Murdochs papers reputational status as the most read paper. I think the workforce environment of News Corp has made them lose all moral integrity and a lack of thinking i.e hacking people phone to get the “scoop”.

I believe that Murdoch employs a behavioural management style as he goes extreme means to get the information he wants. He usually does this because he wants to get the 'scoop' before any other journalist does. I think that there is a possibility that he knew about the phone hacking scandal, but at the same thing didn’t say anything about it as he was too busy with other events happening i the news world. It is a possibility that there may have been a bit of miscommunication as somewhere down the track the story would have been changed a bit to make it sound not as worse as it actually was. If i was in his position, i would answer all questions that i felt comfortable but at the same time if it is not legally required I would carefully consider which ones I would answer as any wrong move made can badly tarnish the business.

i believe that Rupert Murdoch employs behavioural management, because of the fact hell do what he sees he needs to do to be successful. he will go to the greatest trouble and do whatever he can if he believes the information is vital, he goes after something with determination and nothing will get in his way.

I think that Rupert Murdoch uses a behavioural style of management. I think this because he new about the phone hacking and he would do anything to get the news he wanted, and as a journalist he would have been inclined to such things like this.

Admiring the time and energy you put into your website and in depth information you provide. It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed information. Although it took me time to read through all the comments, but I really enjoyed the article. Keep up the good work.
